Vegeta's body stopped feeling Kinoko's force hit him, he closed his eyes at her words and his Ki flared for a moment as he broke her hold on him and turned to face her. He knew all too well how Kinoko felt, it was the same feeling when he found out Kakarot was holding back against him with his Super Saiyan three. Under different circumstances he wouldn't have held back, even if it was family, he even gave Trunks a chance and pushed him past his limits. Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest and walking back over to Kinoko, his expression was beyond simple anger at this point, family or not he didn't like being called a coward.

Vegeta reached forward and grabbed Kinoko's armor pulling her face closer to his glaring at her.
"You think I want to hold back you idiot!" Vegeta yelled before pushing her away. "How you have my blood and Kakarot's idiocy is beyond me. You're so damn thick headed just like him. Do you honestly think the only reason I'm holding back because I 'don't want to hurt you' do you really think I'm that soft. If you do then clearly you don't understand anything about me. Fighting is a part of culture, getting stronger is our duty as Saiyan's! If you can't get past losing and your past weakness then you're not worthy of being called a Saiyan. Even I keep striving, every day without stop knowing Kakarot is just one step ahead of me, haunted by that pain daily, haunted by the fact I was powerless not only against Freiza but a low class Saiyan."
The floor cratered nearby as Vegeta's anger reached its peak, he seemed inches away from knocking Kinoko through half the city, but as he glared at her something showed in him, it wasn't so much hesitation, it was almost fear and he sighed and closed his eyes controlling his energy.
"...do you not feel it when we fight," Vegeta said looking back at her.
His gaze was softer, though he still had the same angry expression it was clear he was calmer.
"I figured by now you'd pick up on it. Why I can't go all out on you. It's not that I don't want to, it's that I have to hold myself back. If you can't understand it at this point then there's no sense explaining it to you. You have my stubbornness but his lack of tact."
Vegeta said this and turned his back on her again.

Kinoko didn't flinch when Vegeta had managed to bring her close, before having to grunt as he pushed her away, where she stumbled a little, but managed to keep her composure. At this very moment, she wasn't, at all, scared of his presence, considering that she was became so used to it, and that she didn't find anything negative. In other words, she understood him, since they were sort-of on the same page when it came to feeling inferior. If Vegeta ever found out about what the Savior told her the other day, Goku might end up under the bus. She didn’t want that for the younger.

As if to seemingly mirror him, the princess gathered herself before managing to cross her arms, and shouting back. "Don't think I'm that blind, Vegeta! You're frustrated; as am I. But, just because we are of the elite, doesn't mean we should excel over others; sure, we may be the strongest race out there, but we are certainly not meant to be a perfect one!", she wasn't sure whether if it was a good idea to even mention such a thing, but she had to clear Vegeta's judgement. "As bad as it seems, for the both of us, we didn't exactly take training too seriously in the past either, until we met Kakarot; just so you know!". No fear in her eyes; that same fire remained, only lightly, as she calmed herself down. "That's not to say we can't reach new levels or heights", as close as she was to Goku, both personally and relatively, the task wasn't impossible. Kinoko, good-heartedly, always claimed the younger to be "the special one" of the three Pure-Saiyans, but, for the Prince's own good, she kept it to herself.

Kinoko then halfway turned her back on him, having to see him out of the corner of her eye. When he spoke again, slight fear came to her. Through many years of thinking, she didn't know whether if it was allowable or possible. “I feel myself getting stronger, every time we do”, she looked at one of her hands, flexing it.

Growing up, she had looked up to her older brother, up to the point where she felt deep anguish over his death, when Frieza arrived; where she turned Super Saiyan for the first time. Since then, she had always wanted to gain his approval, when the intense, seemingly-endless training began. Strangely, it stimulated something, shortly after each session; a kind of craving she can’t really shake off. "Well, I am a half to each of you. You might, as well, just tell me", in truth, she probably knew what the Prince was talking about; if it was about that specific topic.
“I’m all ears”.

It took almost all of his willpower not to turn back to Kinoko at her words, he slammed his fist into the wall shattering it in the process needing some kind of outlet for the blasphemy that just came from his own sisters mouth. He seemed to take a deep breath staring at his hand for a moment. His eyes narrowed and he clenched it into a fist, there was no reasoning with Kinoko on this matter, not that he wanted to anyway. Talking about feelings and emotions was Kakarot's thing so he didn't see why she was putting so much effort into talking with him about it.
"Speak for yourself," Vegeta said turning to Kinoko. "It's hard to believe Saiyan blood runs through you sometimes. You are not just any Saiyan Kinoko, you are a princess, part of your duty is to excel over others, it's your bloodline whether you accept it or not."
Vegeta stopped at that point his eyes twitching for a moment, something seemed to hit him in that moment but whatever it was he shook it off as quickly as it came.
"...it doesn't matter. This conversation is meaningless, figure it out yourself I'm not your babysitter and don't say you're half of me. Someone who calls themselves my sibling should know better than to ever say such things to me."

Vegeta started to leave when a figure appeared between them, Goku lowering two fingers from his head smiled before it quickly faded as he looked at the two of them, he blinked a few times before rubbing the back of his head. Even he could feel the tension in the air right now.
"Uh...did I come at a bad time?"
Vegeta huffed and turning walked away from them, Goku started to stop him but withdrew his hand knowing that aura, he'd end up blown though the wall if he tried to stop him right now, instead he turned to Kinoko arching a brow at her.
"Were you two arguing again? You know how Vegeta can be Kinoko...I hope he doesn't go vanishing again, we need him for the plan....maybe I should talk to him once he's calmed down."
Goku brought a hand to his chin at this, he'd have to keep an eye on his energy in case he hid it later.

Kinoko heard Vegeta's every word, but she didn't turn around to face him. Instead, she looked over from the corner of her eye. As stubborn as she was, the princess was quite intent to say what was on her mind. If her brother didn't approve, then so be it. Also, when will he ever accept the fact that she wasn't born one-hundred percent royalty? Her own father was a third-class Saiyan, and only that would ever cross Kinoko's mind, every time the Prince criticized her. Sometimes, she wondered if it was herself to blame; to why the princess couldn't seem to earn some approval from a fellow high-class Saiyan.

Was her fate meant to be an abomination of the Saiyan race? But then, why was she still even alive, to begin with? Shouldn't Vegeta and Raditz have ended her, right then and there, after learning the truth of her birth? Should she have the right to choose how she should live her life, rather than being constantly reminded of what she needs to be? It only made it all the more difficult if she had to choose between two things: Her own point of view, or agree to what others see? ‘Guess to Vegeta, she was still part of the elite.

The sounds of the Prince walking away, made her finally turn her head around, before taking notice of the younger Saiyan's presence nearby. The only expression the princess displayed, was a face of near-desperation towards the departing Saiyan, almost as if she had something else to say, as he walked away, but then she didn’t say it. Kinoko heard Goku speak, but she didn’t respond for a few seconds; until, with a shout of frustration, the female clenched a fist, and slammed it into the ground, a few feet away from where Goku was standing, making a giant crack. When will she ever prove to him that she was capable? "Don’t bother, Kakarot”, she told the younger Saiyan. There was no use in reasoning with Vegeta; the Prince will still holding onto his pride, and he keep it intact. No other words will seem to sway him.

“When will he ever see it!?", she asked, not really speaking to anyone in particular. Her head down, some liquid trailed down her face. "After all we have gone through, am I meant to be so weak?", she then dropped down to a knee, with her fist still on the floor; her eyes still closed.

The only difference between the two Saiyans are their views of inferiority and superiority. Kinoko didn’t exactly want to excel above anyone; it wasn’t in her best interest, but she did wonder whether if it was because of his rivalry with Goku that made him think of such a view, or if it was really true; that the elite was supposed to be above the third-class. Or, it could also be due to spending so much time on Earth that’s making her lose focus on her role within the Saiyan race. At this point, this would probably be one of the fewer times she had ever felt such shame. ‘I’m sorry, Vegeta’, she thought, almost as if she was mentally sending it to him.

Pulling back her fist, Kinoko sat there for a few seconds, until she began to speak to herself. “I am the Princess of all Saiyans; I have the blood of the first and third-class! As one of the elite”, it felt as if Vegeta’s words woke something inside of her. "I hold onto my Saiyan pride; through life and death, I represent each and every one of them; both royal and peasant; alive and deceased!", she added, to convince herself, tightly clenching both fists. The older was right; she represented each and every one of the race. But can she actually prove it to him? She opened yet narrowed her eyes with determination, and lifted a fist close to her face. “And for them, I will keep fighting”, she added. ‘I will get stronger, Vegeta. Just you wait’, she thought.

After a few seconds, Kinoko stood back up to her feet, wiping the last of her tears, and clenched her fists, bringing them to her sides. “Goku? What do you say we do some sparring?”, she asked with a smirk. She will hold onto her Saiyan pride, and now, she was going to fight like one.

Goku remained silent and still watching Kinoko, he turned and looked in the direction Vegeta had gone crossing his arms over his chest. The two of them were something else, that much he had to admit. Still he didn't get how they couldn't see what was plainly put out there, he smiled and ruffled his hair turning his back to Konoko as she spoke of her heritage. It was up to Kinoko to figure out her own path, at least that's what Vegeta made him promise, he and Vegeta were just there to help should she ever fall off it. Though Vegeta believed she should walk down one route while he disagreed and believed she should follow another. In the end he wanted Kinoko to figure out answers for herself, but she wanted Vegeta's acceptance, something he only earned after the two had tried to kill each other more times than he could count and he'd never say it out loud. He had a feeling that was going to be a long harsh road.
"Kinoko will figure it out one day, I doubt I'd be able to explain it anyway." Goku thought before starting to walk away.
He stopped however when Kinoko spoke to him arching his brows at her, smiling at her he gave a small nod and put a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm happy too. I won't make you, but if you feel like talking you know how to find me. Let's go."

Ryo leaned against a tree adjusting the mask on his face only to jump when a squirrel ran by, bringing a hand to his chest he let out a small sigh before his gaze moved to the sky. The orange sky spread out above him was pretty peaceful, if not for the fact he was waiting for a killer alien to take his life it might actually be a good day. He took out his phone and stared at it for a moment, 21 had called him having been forced to give his number to her and Goku for some strange reason when they came to see him telling him about the meeting place. Apparently 21 had informed Kinoko shortly before they got there that the plan was already in motion, which meant the lab was going to end up blown up sooner or later, well after their fight started.
"Hello."
Ryo glanced sideways at Yuvo as he walked out of the darkness, with a smile he got into stance causing Ryo to fully turn to face him.
"I owe 21 one, I was hoping to get a shot at you. Seems like you were waiting for me."
Ryo sighed inside his mask and made a beckoning motion with his sleeve.

---

"Are you ready?" 21 questioned.
She and Goku were standing in a small lab, documents were scattered everywhere and designs of all manners were placed on the wall, there were multiple pods in the area and judging by the broken one, it was the one Yuvo came out of. 21 had led Goku to a room with a large machine in the center with multiples pipes leading into other machines that let out a low hum, it seemed this was the central computer, and the pods outside were spare 'main' Yuvo's, they would destroy while he was asleep. It was hard getting in without getting seen, but the harder part was surviving the onslaught that would come when they destroyed it.
"I'm ready," Goku said.
The two raised their hands and energy gathered in them before a large explosion came from the lab, the two quickly flew out of it Goku hurling one last blast of energy inside which destroyed not only the lab but part of the mountain in the process.
"That should do it...Goku."
"I'm on it."
Goku put two fingers to his head and locking onto Vegeta's signature moved to him, the two met eyes for a moment and with grumble he flew off in Kinoko's direction as Goku returned to help 21 deal with the clones who attention she had attracted and led away from the lab. As Vegeta flew he noticed multiple Yuvo's flying out of the city his eyes narrowing at the sheer number making their way towards the cliffs. 21 confirmed that only a few of them were as strong as the normal Yuvo, they just had to avoid killing the one with the weakest signature, which wouldn't be too hard.
Vegeta landed and approached Kinoko arms crossed and the normal scowl on his face, Goku and 21's energy spiked causing Vegeta to look back in the direction of the energy.
"Kinoko it's time, don't let your guard down," Vegeta said before turning and flying towards the clones.

21 had gathered all of the clones far in the wastelands, there were at the very least a thousand Yuvo's floating in front of her and she narrowed her eyes at them as they stared down at her, a few of them smiling and cracking their knuckles.
"...I had a feeling you would eventually betray me 21," one of the Yuvo's said.
"Yeah you did seem like the ambitious type," another Yuvo said.
"I was going to get more data on you to add to my own, but this will suffice," one of the Yuvo's in the back said.
"...you're not pulling any innocents into this," 21 said. "I'm stopping this now."
"You intend on taking us all on!"
"Well I figured I'd help."
Goku appeared next to 21 and smiled at her before focusing his attention back on the numerous Yuvo's and getting into stance, the smile fading off his face.
"Oh Goku! I wanted to save the best for last...but I've never been the patient type," Yuvo said grinning. "I get you, 21 and Kitsu, must be my lucky day!"

For the rest of that day, Kinoko could only feel thankful that Goku was there, at the right moment, of needing someone who would give her the much-needed comfort to keep her confidence intact. By far, that argument became too close to home, perhaps for both herself and Vegeta. The Prince's words only continue to fuel her with determination, to the point of trying to find ways of winning his approval of honoring the entire Saiyan race by "acting" like someone destined to represent and lead them, whether alive or deceased. It became the snapping point that only resulted in Kinoko to become even more determined, which led to her offer being directed towards Goku. At that point, she was going to take this new path seriously; the path of becoming stronger to honor her own Saiyan heritage, pride, as well as protect the wellbeing of the residing planet she was upon.

The last thing Kinoko could recall was her earlier sparring session with the younger Saiyan, while she stood a very good distance away from the city, and witnessed the army of clones retreating from it. With her arms crossed, and her battle attire ever so present, the princess made occasional glances in the direction where the Prince was supposedly positioned. She waited for him, feeling the urge to get into the fight, and just revel in the act of eliminating the threat. Her eyes narrowed, just as she picked up Vegeta's signature. She didn't look at him when he spoke, but she did acknowledge him before he could fly away; by unwrapping her arms from her chest, and flexing a fist, looking at it. "I don't intend to", it was a simple response yet a very determined one.

After a few seconds, Kinoko took flight after the Prince. Once she was close enough, she took a shot of Ki, which flew past the Prince, and at a clone, followed by another one. She stopped before them, next to the Majin-Android and the other two Saiyans. "Unlike those we have already fought, even when not at full-power, you're definitely one who loves to keep talking", she said to the army of clones.

One the Clones knocked the ki shot away but the other one ended up taking it in the face falling to the ground afterwards, the other clones narrowed their eyes seeing Kinoko approach. At her words all of them grinned and got into a fighting stance, before they could talk further a section of them exploded causing them to look over at the ensuing explosion. Vegeta had his hand held out a chunk of the army falling to the ground, he narrowed his eyes at the group and slowly lowered his hand.
"Fine...if you want to die that badly! We'll take all your power!"
The Clone army rose up and immediately dove at the group some firing blasts from a distance which 21 and Goku immediately dashed towards weaving between the shots. 21 looked back at Vegeta and Kinoko and pointed to one of the clones, if they read it's power they'd notice the power was substantially smaller than the rest of them, she was silently saying don't kill that one.

Vegeta rushed forward slamming his fist into one of the clones before clashing with two of them, he looked over to see Goku block the strikes of three simultaneously before blowing them away. His eyes narrowed and he yelled Ki exploding from his body destroying a section near them, though more came at him, causing him to block the ensuing strikes. They were slowly absorbing the group's Ki and steadily getting strong, the fighters could weaken them quickly but fight strong ones last, or pace themselves and keep them at an average strength. 21 knocked a few out with her own power, but any that weren't killed immediately would regenerate.
"This ability from Kinoko is really handy," the Yuvo's clones said grinning at their healed forms. "Let's see what else we can get!"
Multiple clones flew at Kinoko as well laughing as others flew from the horizon.
"I hope Kitsu's doing okay..." 21 thought knocking away another clone.

---

Ryo slid backwards holding up his arms as he blocked a strike from Yuvo, he immediately moved out of the way of Yuvo as he slammed his fist into a tree breaking it in the process. Ryo spun slamming his fist into Yuvo's chest, the man's eyes narrowed as he flew back crashing through several tree's before coming to a sliding stop. He looked up as Ryo slowly rose his body and got back into stance, he grinned as his body started regenerating.
"How interesting," Yuvo said. "...you're clearly managing your Ki, like you know how to fight me."
Yuvo brought his hands back to his sides and eyed Ryo, his stance seemed so open but no matter what direction he approached from the other one always seemed ready to defend, they had been keeping up an even pace with one another the moment the fight started.
"So 21 betrayed me...figures," Yuvo said. "I had a feeling she'd want more eventually. Here I thought you killed her Evil side."
Ryo shrugged his shoulders, he didn't know that woman's story and that wasn't really his concern right now, he just had to keep him busy while the other's fought.
"What kind of power are you using against me," Yuvo said grinning. "I need it!"
Yuvo vanished appearing next to Ryo, his eyes widened beneath his mask and he barely blocked the man's kick flying backwards through the forest, placing his feet down he caught himself and spinning saw Yuvo building energy in his hands.
"Big Bang!"
"Big what!" Ryo thought before the shot rang out.
The forest was ensued in large blue explosion and Yuvo laughed as the surrounding landscape was scarred by his massive Ki.

Kinoko had her gaze upon the clone army, and the only response she visually gave was a narrow of her eyes, before bringing her fists to her sides, and gradually allowing Ki to flow through her body, until she charged towards the army with her brothers, and “sister”, who silently reminded them to not harm the weakest clone she had managed to point out. Punches, kicks, grabs, and dodges were performed throughout the assault, and Kinoko put every ounce of strength in her strikes against their assailants.

There was even an instant where she managed to send a punch straight through the stomach of one of the clones, who, no doubt, died immediately, from the powerful harnessing willpower of the Saiyan princess; anyone opposing her or her allies were on her mental-list for termination.

Kinoko dodged the strikes from another clone with multiple uses of afterimage, before having to do some back-handsprings to evade her attacker. Eventually, she came to a stop, only to set her sights on her target, once again, while levitating on the spot. Her hair turning gold, transforming to Super Saiyan 2, Kinoko sent a punch to its stomach, a knee to the chest, and finally, a kick to the jaw, which sent him flying. Afterwards, she launched a huge blast of Ki towards him, obliterating him. ’Who’s next?’, she mentally thought, with a smirk, before a group flew towards her.

Hearing the clones laugh, the female Saiyan smirked. “Glad to hear that it’s helping you”, she said almost mockingly; the aggression lingering in her voice. “Allow me to show you its greatest weakness”, the princess allowed them to fly over, before letting out a huge wave of Ki from her body with a shout, radiating her assailants, and leaving no trace behind.

Her attention was then diverted towards the forest where a giant blue blast engulfed the entire area, and worry creeped up on her, as her eyes widened. ’Kitsu...’, she thought, before flying towards the source.

A hand grabbed Kinoko's shoulder before she could get too far, it was Vegeta who merely stared at her his gaze moving towards the destroyed forest. He knew exactly what Yuvo had just done, he felt that all of them felt that. Running off however wasn't an option, the fact that Goku didn't fly in that direction with the way his mind worked was a miracle, he wasn't about to have Kinoko pull a Kakarot while he was around. He moved his hand off his shoulder and motioned his head back to the battle at hand.
"Plan doesn't change. The two of them have been fighting the whole time we've been here, that brat is genuinely trying to help. Running off towards him defeats whatever beating he's taking right now. You should have more me in you than Kakarot so consider things like that."

Vegeta turned slamming his fist into one of the clones sending it crashing into a nearby cliff. They had managed to kill a majority of them and avoid the weakest one who was currently trying to hit a dodging Goku.
"Wow you've done quite a number on my clones."
Vegeta turned before a fist slammed into the Prince's stomach sending him flying backwards into Goku, the two crashing into a nearby cliff. Yuvo slowly straightened his body next to Kinoko flexing his hands a few times before grinning at her.
"It's good to see you again Kinoko," Yuvo said holding his palm towards her. "Here's a gift for being late."
A beam of Ki shot out Yuvo's hand towards Kinoko destroying the structure of rocks that rested behind them leaving behind a smouldering crater as Yuvo laughed and lowered his hand wondering if his attack had hit.

Goku and Vegeta climbed out of the mountain to a worried 21 who had managed to safely knock out the clone, but this was a bad situation. She had sensed Kitsu's power level earlier but it suddenly vanished, her eyes narrowed as Yuvo's eyes turned to them a grin slowly making its way onto his features. This was going to complicate the plan, if he made more clones now...and the weak one got caught in the crossfire Yuvo would be unstoppable.

Kinoko was just about ready to possibly fly at Kitsu's rescue, but then, she was being stopped by a hand. Turning her head, she saw her older brother holding her back; to whom she was giving a look of disbelief upon her youthful features. She listened to him explain the circumstances, yet she still slightly trembling, as if she didn't want to believe what the Prince was telling but then, it was necessary to comply. It was against her nature in leaving someone in distress, but then, they were currently upon something that had to be done, no matter what happened on the side-lines. The princess didn't want to act like nothing drastic happened, but then, she felt the need to...until she remembered the things the Prince had said the day before.

"It's hard to believe that Saiyan blood runs through you, sometimes...don't say you're half of me...how you have my blood and Kakarot's idiocy is beyond me...you are not just any Saiyan, Kinoko; you are a princess, part of your duty is to excel over others. It's your bloodline, whether you accept it or not."

His words replayed themselves, and she remembered them well. They had remained fresh in her mind, since yesterday, and they still left an imprint within her consciousness. She looked down at the destroyed forest, having to wonder whether if Kitsu was okay or not. However, his power level seemed to have disappeared completely, and she still worried. What snapped her out of her thoughts was to hear Yuvo's voice close by. The next thing the female Saiyan witnessed, was to see Vegeta go flying into the cliff, along with Goku. Kinoko gasped to see the villain next to her, and find herself get launched into another cliff, hard, and land with a pained grunt. Within the dust, the princess laid there for a few seconds, with her eyes closed. Months of abuse she had to endure came rushing back, as well as memories of the past.

“My name is Kinoko. I am the Princess of all Saiyans. I have the blood of the first-class, from my mother, along with the third of my father."

Images of Planet Vegeta came to her mind, as well as its destruction.

"As one of the elite, I hold onto my Saiyan pride; through life and death, I represent each and every one of them; both royal and peasant; friend and foe; alive and deceased."

Images involved the death of Vegeta, at the hands of Freiza, came to her mind, and her hand began to twitch. She remembered the time she had killed Raditz, as well as the time when Vegeta had succumbed to the evil magic of Babidi. Kinoko had managed to lift herself up with a groan, and stand.

“And for them, I will keep fighting"

These images have left a psychological scar within her, and it became infuriating. Her aura intensified, and soon enough, the entire mountain nearby collapsed. Her eyes were closed, until she eventually opened them, and look up at Yuvo with stern eyes, and gritting her teeth. Her hair began to grow longer, becoming that of Super Saiyan 3. Flying back up, on the villain's level, she slowly lifted a hand, sending a telekinetic force upon him, downright stilling, or paralyzing, him on the spot.

"I never intend to give up. Whether on Vegeta's, on Goku's, or on anyone's life!"

Hostility, as well as murderous intent became clear, after tightening her telekinetic grip upon him, practically intending to squeeze the life out of him.

Yuvo's eyes arched as power erupted from Kinoko, 21 tried to yell at her not to show him but by then it was too late. A bright grin rested on Yuvo's face as he stared at the Super Saiyan in front of him. His eyes moving over her form taking in her energy, he didn't have much time as he felt something invisible surround his body before it started to crush him. He blinked a few times surprised at the invisible force, though as his eyes moved to Kinoko he realized that she was the source of it. A small laugh escaped from him before he turned his head towards the sky laughing uproariously as Goku and Vegeta rose back up to join the fight.
"Stop don't show him any more!" 21 yelled.
"Hahahah fantastic!" Yuvo screamed.

Yuvo let out a loud yell and immense power erupted off him, blowing everything back, he pulled at the telekinesis around his body forcing it open before extending his hand grabbing Kinoko with her own power, grabbing her throat and slowly crushing it.
"Power! Power after power! I've finally gained the power of a Super Saiyan 3 and now...now I have this new power! Kinoko! You are everything I want! Show me more! Show me more of your power! Go beyond! I need more! More!"
The three tried to approached but Yuvo held his free hand out stopping them with telekinesis a bright grin on his face as he glanced over at them.
"I'm not talking to you," he said before focusing back on Kinoko.
Goku and Vegeta grit their teeth as they struggled in Yuvo's grip, Goku started to power up to break free but he froze realizing that if he did that Yuvo would just notice his energy, looking over at Vegeta and 21 they had come to the same conclusion.
If they went Super Saiyan Blue his power would go far beyond anything they knew, he might approach a god's level at that point.
"I'll rob you of everything! I'm beyond-"
"Oi."
Yuvo turned his gaze only to see Ryo inches from his with his fist back, the next moment he found himself in the side of a moment. Ryo shook off his hand letting out a small sigh. Adjusting the mask on his face he moved his hands to his hips, the telekinetic hold fading from the group's body.
"You're coming on pretty strong dude...girl's generally don't like that...I think."
"Kitsu!" 21 yelled. "You're okay."
"Of course I'm okay," Ryo said. "He just hit me with some weird blue ball."
His clothes were a tad torn and burned but he wasn't any worse for wear.
Vegeta stared at Kitsu his eyes narrowing a bit, even if it was Yuvo using it that was still one of his skills. Seeing a earthling of all things survive it drew his attention a little.

Ryo looked over at Kinoko before tapping the side of his head.
"Stop showing the guy your power. He's annoying enough to deal with," Ryo said. "Anyway you should be able to kill him, I did my job."
Yuvo shot out of the mountain flying straight towards Ryo, with a loud scream his aura flared before it immediately died his eyes widening as all his ki suddenly vanished. Ryo caught him by his arm to keep him from plummeting to the earth.
"Eh...m-my Ki...i-it's gone. I can't summon it," Yuvo said staring at his hand.
He pointed his hand at Ryo trying to shoot him with a ki blast but nothing came, not even a spark.
"You guys rely too much on Ki," Ryo said looking at the others. "I wasn't trying to kill you during our fight Yuvo, I was hitting your pressure points. Doesn't matter how strong you are...if you can't manifest Ki it's hard to do what you normally do...and you rely on that right?"
"Y-you..."
"It's a shame you can read moves but not intentions," Ryo said releasing him. "Fighting Ki users is my speciality after all."
Ryo floated over and pat Kinoko on the shoulder as Yuvo plummeted towards the earth.
"I'm done here, you guys can do that thing where you kill the bad guy and win the fight right. I'm going to get a soda, he's all yours."
Yuvo fell towards the earth trying to fly but nothing came from him, he raised his hand to Kinoko but nothing came out, all he could do was watch Ryo fly away and Kinoko slowly get further away as he fell towards the ground.
"W-wait! Killing me like this isn't fair right! Don't you want a proper fight?! J-just wait till I get my Ki back and I'll give you a good fight! You want that right Kinoko!"
Goku looked over at Vegeta at this causing the prince to glare at him.
"What?!"
"...nothing...this just seems oddly familiar...hope she doesn't have too much Vegeta in her."
"What'd you say?!"
21 didn't have the heart to say that Goku had fallen for that trick too.

Kinoko was so wrapped up in her own rage, she wasn’t even aware that 21 was trying to warn her about the cost of the situation they were currently in. The fire in her eyes were evident as she tried to squeeze the living out of Yuvo, literally intending to immobilize him, and perhaps find an opening, once he falls into weakness. The female Saiyan, however, notice her own power slipping, as soon as she heard the bio-android start to laugh, in an uproar. She didn’t know what was so funny, but the moment the princess felt an invisible seemingly close in around her throat, she came to realize that Yuvo had managed to copy her energies.

The control over her own telekinetic force had slipped completely, when she felt him trying to close her airway. Kinoko gritted her teeth, as she tried to fight off a common power she used to wield, that was currently being used against her. “No”, she choked out, using every ounce of her own being to continue fighting. Having to look to the side, and find 21 and her brothers halted in place, it only made her push on even more. “A Saiyan...never stops. I won’t...stop...!”, she growled, clenching her fists together, and letting her eyes pierce back at Yuvo with murderous intent.

It felt as if she wasn’t in her right mentality at the moment. Instead of her pure-hearted self, she was entirely battle-hardened; the boiling mindset of a true Saiyan, seeking to create violence. The trauma, the memories, and Vegeta’s words fueled her own anger, so at this rate, she was beyond calm restraint.

”I’m not weak! And I’ll never quit in protecting my family. A Saiyan never quits!”

She said to herself once again, having to be a constant mantra that repeated itself, as she continued to counter the invisible force. The princess was just about to let out a yell, until she saw Ryo cutting in, causing her to somewhat relax her stature, having to be not as aggressive as before. The hold disappeared completely, and the princess watched as the Earthling had managed to outsmart the bio-android, and throw him into the Earth.

Her power began to decrease back to normal, once she had managed to calm down a little. She didn’t say anything, but just kept her eyes on the alien as he fell. As much as she wanted to remain calm, and retain her own sanity, now that their opponent has been drained of energy, the comment that Yuvo made, made Kinoko grit her teeth, clench her fists, and softly growl. Powering up to Super Saiyan 2, she launched a big blue ball towards the falling alien.

Yuvo crossed his arms in front of him, his eyes widening as he fell helpless to stop the blast. The attack collided a loud scream escaping from him as his body was torn apart by the energy. His death cries echoing in the valley before everything faded, no sign of the original Yuvo remaining when the smoke cleared.
A relieved sigh escaped from 21 as she finished scanning the rocks, there was no trace of him, which meant he wouldn’t regenerate. They learned their lesson after fighting Cell, it was best to leave no traces. 21’s gaze moved over to the clone, the now weak Yuvo only to realize his body was gone. Her eyes widening she immediately turned checking the area, but she could pick up no trace of him. His energy was already pretty low so it was hard enough to pick up on his presence.
“The clone Yuvo is gone,” 21 said looking at the others. “I’ll go check the area.”
21 flew away from the group and Goku looked over at Vegeta who was staring at Kinoko in silence, his eyes narrowed for a moment before he noticed Goku staring at him.
“What,” he said in his normal irritated tone.
“Nothing. We should help 21 find Yuvo. He’s weak but if he gets away it could cause trouble later.”

Vegeta remained silent but closing his eyes flew off in another direction, he didn’t want to deal with anyone at the moment. That Ryo person took one of his attacks and survived, even if Yuvo wasn’t hitting as hard as he was, for an earthling of all things to survive a blast like that...
Something about it bothered him, but for the time being dealing with Yuvo was the bigger priority.
“Hey Kinoko,” Goku said floating next to her. “Let’s help 21 find Yuvo then head back. I think it’s been a bit of a day for everyone.”
Goku rested a hand on her shoulder before looking down at the crater from her attack, the smile on his face faded for a very brief moment and closing his eyes he removed his hand crossing his arms over his chest.
“…Kinoko…”
Goku started to speak but ultimately stop talking; he seemed to take a moment before reaching up and rubbing the back of his head with a grin.
“Never mind, I think I’m just hungry. Let’s hurry and help 21 so we can get back and celebrate. If I can find Ryo I’ll have him join us too.”
With that Goku gave Kinoko a small smack on the shoulder before flying off in search of Yuvo.

Kinoko was staring intently at the crater she created within the Earth, almost as if she was still looking for any trace of Yuvo within it. As focused as she was in trying to find him, she didn’t recall on what 21 had said, before the bio-android flew off, leaving the female Saiyan with the other two males. The rage within Kinoko’s eyes slowly dissipated, just until she was able to revert back to her ordinary self, although her fists remained clenched. She didn’t realize that everybody was slowly departing; the only thing snapping her out of her trance, being the hand that Goku had laid upon her shoulder.

It was her little brother’s voice that brought her back to reality, and the rage from earlier had seemed to disappear altogether. The princess wasn’t sure if he was saying her name out of disapproval or realization, but all she assume was the fact that he had just witnessed her personally take out an enemy in cold-blood, and out of pure rage, which was nearly out-of-character for her. The only person they knew, who would being able to pull out on doing such a thing, being Vegeta. If she was being honest with herself, and to Goku, her own inner feelings fueled her own anger, therefore allowing her to lose control, once again.

The only reaction Kinoko could give to the younger Saiyan, was the narrowing of her eyes, and the slight dipping of her head; she still believed that Yuvo deserved to embrace death, after what he had just spoken to her. It was never a good idea to toy with someone else’s feelings, especially someone who was part of a warrior species. Overall, the princess didn’t hold any sign of remorse, regret, nor shame. “I can only assure you, Kakarot, that one should think twice about mocking me”, okay, then maybe the anger didn’t completely leave her, and the female Saiyan didn’t look at him while speaking the truth.

As much she indulged within her own mind, Kinoko had only calmed down a little, once the younger Saiyan mentioned about Ryo. The Earthling male had managed to survive an attack that not even a typical human could withstand. Just how was able to? Is he even human to begin with? She turned back to watch Goku leave, and before she could follow, the princess looked back to the crater for a second, until she made up her mind to follow him.

The next morning Ryo was at Capsule Corp. mopping the floor at the entrance with headphones in his ears. He was surprised to find that Vegeta had actually spoken with Bulma and he had been hired at the job, he was only on as a temp to see what he could do but that was good enough for him. The money that he was offered was way more than he thought it would be so he had little trouble doing whatever job they wanted him to do. He had seen the head of the corporation in passing but he wasn't about to talk to the big boss out of the blew, he intended on being on the lowest wrung and making sure this place was spot clean. He intended on making a good impression so he could at least get a part time position, and the place wasn't all that bad, he was sad Soru wasn't working but this beat dealing with the jerks at his old job.
There was only one particular thing about this job that bothered him.

Ryo glanced over to his right to see Vegeta standing nearby, arms crossed and glare on his face. The man's anger seemed to flare when their eyes met forcing Ryo's attention back on his mop. He had been okay for a bit of the morning but apparently Vegeta had finished his morning training and the first thing he did was stand nearby and glare at him. He was pretty sure the man wasn't his supervisor, so he wasn't sure why he was staring at him with so much hatred in his eyes. The air was kind of tense with him just standing there glaring at him, and Ryo was doing his best to ignore him but it was hard to shake the feeling of being stared at when they were right in view.
He missed the friendly one that smiled all of a sudden, even the Majin.
He wasn't sure what had happened with Yuvo but judging by the face on the one named 21 it more than likely wasn't a good thing.
Something in him told him they hadn't found the guy and Ryo was concerned the one glaring at him blamed him for the mess.
"I really did not think this through..."

She didn’t know how many trees she had managed to topple over, but this one definitely exploded in the backyard of Goku’s house. The effect created a mild shake, as if a minor earthquake was shooting through the area. Kinoko was sure that Chi-Chi definitely felt, along with her baby brother who was out farming on his tractor. She felt the need to give blow off some steam, considering that the events of yesterday, and the day before that, made it almost impossible for her to sleep last night. One, her arguement with Vegeta, whose words continued to ring in her head, even though they only motivated her to keep going with her more brutal yet destructive training sessions alone. Unlike her sessions with Goku, it wasn’t at all friendly.

And second, Yuvo’s words only increased the temperamental side of her person, and the level of damage in the open field was up to display that feeling. She was pretty sure that a lecture from Chi-Chi wasn’t going to calm her down, and she couldn’t exactly sure what Goku would do in times like this. The feeling was too much and, eventually, Kinoko finally sat on the ground, in the middle of the desolate field, pulling her knees up to her chest.
